Very slick movie, great action and aesthetic. The giant bloody shrine was a great setpiece. Aside from the limited soundtrack, I have no complaints. It's a simple movie overall, but the good kind of simple, like well-made brownies.

I'm thinking about going back and finishing up Shaman King, since I never bothered after it got resurrected. The manga is probably the better option, but there's a part of me that wants to watch the old dub from my childhood for the nostalgia factor. It's been a while, just how much worse is the anime compared to the manga?

So I've heard, from my Brother who insisted we watch it. But the entire first episode, I just kept thinking, "this is ridiculous". And that feeling never went away.

I know it's heresy as a JoJo fan to suggest this, but consider checking out part 3 or part 4 and seeing if it's more your style (if you don't care about spoilers for previous parts). I couldn't get into JoJo until Stands were a thing, and I couldn't fully get into it until chewing on a beautiful Duwang. Everything from the man with steak for hair and the man with donuts for hair onwards is much better realized in anime form than the first three parts, which had some great moments but suffered from rather bland neutral coloring (and not as well implemented color shifts) that didn't complement the bizarre nature as well as 4 and 5 have in animation.

e: christ, sorry, i didn't check the date, disregard.

Personally, the anime rekindled my interest in PB after first reading the really roughly drawn manga part, though I wasn't introduced through the cleanest scan around. Now I'm rereading with a cleaner scan, and PB suddenly seems much better drawn.

Wow, that's a while ago. PB was rough at the start. It probably didn't help that he started with the first episode of SC when it aired and spent the while episode explaining things to me, so much that I missed a bunch of what was happening.
